The two had just reached the lobby when they saw Li Sinian and Qin Wenxi walk in.

"Wow, that's quite a grand affair. I've never eaten in a place like this before!" Li Sinian praised, genuinely pleased that Chen Lu and Jiang Chao had made a name for themselves.

Qin Wenxi was clearly taken aback when she saw Liang Zhirou, then smiled politely.

"Senior, is this your girlfriend?" she asked, sizing up Liang Zhirou.

Upon hearing this, Liang Zhirou lowered her head and moved to the side, no longer keeping such a close distance from Chen Lu.

Liang Zhirou had barely taken two steps when Chen Lu pulled her to his side, jokingly saying, "This is my company's future boss's wife."

She thought Chen Lu was still joking, while Qin Wenxi nodded as if she understood.

"You two decide what you want to eat. Jiang Chao is going to be the sucker today, so order as much as you can," Chen Lu said to Li Sinian.

He continued gesturing with his hands, "He just ordered a lobster this big."

"Damn, take me to see this."

"This way."

Chen Lu pointed to the spot where Liang Zhirou had been watching the fish, and the next second Li Sinian darted out with him.

No matter how old a boy is, he will always be childish at times. For example, nearly half of college students still believe that Ultraman Tiga and the light exist.

They were even willing to believe that someone else was Qin Shi Huang.

Just as Liang Zhirou was about to follow, Qin Wenxi pulled her aside and started chatting.

"Hello, my name is Qin Wenxi. I'm a sophomore, and like senior Chen Lu, I'm also in the law school."

"Hello... My name is Liang Zhirou." Liang Zhirou was a little nervous; she wasn't very good at dealing with people who were overly familiar with her.

She didn't understand why the other person specifically mentioned that they were both from the law school, just like Chen Lu.

"You and your senior are really close. I haven't seen him so close to other girls in ages." Then, as if she'd said something wrong, she quickly added, "You should know about Senior Yuqing, right?"

Liang Zhirou gave a soft, almost inaudible "hmm".

Qin Wenxi continued, "You like him?"

Liang Zhirou was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hand, "No, no."

"Looks like I was overthinking it. Well, you two aren't from the same world after all."

......

As they went up the stairs, Chen Lu sensed that the simple-minded man was in a low mood, so he couldn't help but ask, "Are you unhappy?"

Liang Zhirou regained her usual composure, forcibly suppressing her tears and sobs, "It's okay."

Everyone came to celebrate happily, and she didn't want to cause any trouble for Chen Lu by being emotional.

Of course, she couldn't hide it from Chen Lu, after all, Chen Lu saw her emotional ups and downs all the time.

Chen Lu wanted to observe this simpleton a little longer, but this group of people were too much of a handful. They kept urging him to give some opening remarks or dragging him to drink with them, leaving him no time to spare.

During the journey, Chen Lu would occasionally glance at Liang Zhirou beside him, his eyes filled with joy.

A moment later, Liang Zhirou timidly approached Chen Lu and, after hesitating for a while, whispered, "Can I go teach Chen Mo? I feel a little uncomfortable staying here."

Chen Lu's previously joyful expression vanished instantly. He frowned slightly and glanced at Qin Wenxi in the distance, almost imperceptibly.

Then she immediately returned to her previous demeanor, smiling as she poked Liang Zhirou's cheek, "Go if you want, I'll come back to find you later."

He called out loudly, "Lin Miaomiao, I've been drinking. Do you know how to drive? Could you please take Liang Zhirou home for me?"

Lin Miaomiao stood up and glared at him. "You're already ordering your subordinates around like this at the very beginning. Zhirou, let's go."

After the door was slowly closed, Chen Lu smiled and said, "The future boss's wife isn't in a good mood."

Just as everyone was laughing, he slowly spoke up again in a joking tone: "Remember, everyone, making me angry won't necessarily cost you your job, but making the boss's wife will definitely get you into a terrible mess."

Jiang Chao chuckled, "She's not even your girlfriend yet, and you're already spoiling her like this?"

"Of course." Chen Lu clinked glasses with Li Sinian, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Wenxi. "This silly girl is the apple of my eye."

Qin Wenxi vaguely sensed that Chen Lu's eyes were a bit fierce, and guiltily looked away.

......

"Suddenly I feel like hanging out with Chen Lu has a bright future." Lin Miaomiao smiled, revealing her cute tiger teeth. "It's just that he's a bit too bossy. I haven't driven much since I got my driver's license."

"If it gets scratched or dented later, let him fix it himself."

Seeing that Liang Zhirou did not react, she felt a little strange.

"Zhirou, aren't you happy? If it were me, I would be overjoyed to find out that the person I like is so amazing. You'll be a little rich girl in the future!"

In Lin Miaomiao's eyes, it was destiny for these two to be together.

The main selling point is that they're a perfect match, which is just too adorable.

"I......"

"We're not from the same world," Liang Zhirou said sadly, looking at the incredibly blurry taillights of the car in front of her.

She leaned weakly against the car window, as if all her energy had been drained away, and she had no spirit.

Qin Wenxi spoke out about the reality she had kept buried deep in her heart and was most unwilling to face.

She not only had nothing, but also a lot of money to spend.

He's just a burden.

“You two share the same values, so how can you not be from the same world?” Lin Miaomiao said helplessly. “You may have nothing now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get better in the future. Relationships are different. If you don’t seize the opportunity now, no matter how great you become in the future, the person you’ve missed is gone forever.”
